    WrestleMania: Becky Lynch Becomes New Intercontinental Champion

    The intercontinental championship was on the line at WrestleMania 42, Night 1. AJ Lee defended her championship against Becky Lynch. This rivalry has become really heated in the last few weeks, especially when Becky’s daughter was named by AJ Lee, only firing her up more.

    Becky was in a different mindset during this one, as she used tactic she could to get an advantage. From pulling AJ Lee’s hair, to getting the referee involved, it was by any means necessary for Lynch.

    In the end, Becky bounced AJ Lee’s head off the exposed turnbuckle with the referee not seeing, and picked up the win to become the new women’s intercontinental champion.

    Becky Lynch Says She Wants To Change The Narrative That Women Can’t Be In The Main Event Of WrestleMania

    Becky Lynch believes the women are the biggest stars in the WWE today and they belong in the main event.

    This weekend will be another massive WrestleMania PLE for the WWE where the main events for night one and two are headlined by Cody Rhodes defending the WWE Undisputed Championship vs. Randy Orton, and CM Punk will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns.

    While speaking with Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Becky Lynch, who is also set to compete at the grandest stage of them all had explained how the WWE needs to fight more to condition the fans to believe more in the women and the idea of them being in the main event once again for WrestleMania.

    “I just want to tell good stories, have good matches. Want to make sure that the business is better when I leave it than how I found it. I know that what I have done is prove that women could be the biggest stars in this company, and they are and can be. I think sometimes we need to fight to make sure we’re positioned as such, because you can be a huge name, but if you’re not positioned in the main event. It’s very easy when we condition the audience, this person’s the main event, this person’s the main event, this person’s the main event, we see them as the main event. When we don’t condition the audience, then it becomes a little bit harder, and for the last few years, I think we’ve, for the most part, those main events have gone to two, maybe three, four dudes constantly. I think we need to change that again. I think we need to. I don’t know what that means, whether that means fighting a bit more, whether it’s me or somebody else.”

    Lynch will look to regain the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship when she battles AJ Lee at WrestleMania 42 this weekend.
